Package : mtr
Vulnerability : buffer overflow
Problem type : remote
Debian-specific: no

Adam Zabrocki discovered that under certain circumstances mtr, a full
screen ncurses and X11 traceroute tool, could be tricked into executing
arbitrary code via overly long reverse DNS records.
For the stable distribution (etch), this problem has been fixed in version
